Chapter 959: 954. Exchange of Interests (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Of course, this does not mean that Jiao Zhen is letting everyone develop in this direction; it is not that Jiao Zhen looks down on them, but their abilities are simply not up to the task.

However, developing at the Headquarters and eventually holding an important position there is also quite good.

In the future, anyone who wants to be in the upper management within the Group Company must certainly spend some time at the Headquarters.

"There is one more point I haven't mentioned to everyone before: some of our subsidiaries under the Group will also need to be re-planned in the future.

Moreover, Mr. Zhang may have the intention to support the growth of some subsidiaries; I dare not say too much, but they will certainly reach a market value of several billion," Jiao Zhen said.

"Although these subsidiaries cannot compare to our Group Company, their future development will certainly not be low.

I also know that some people may have other ideas, but going to serve as a general manager at some other medium-sized company is actually not as good as staying here.

As long as you have the ability, I will certainly recommend you to those above.

Plus the support from the Headquarters, no matter what, the development prospects will be much stronger than those small and medium-sized companies."

Some people's eyes flickered upon hearing Jiao Zhen's words; in fact, this really was the thought of some people.

After all, some people do not want to always be someone's underling below; although they are upper management, they still have no way to truly take charge of a company.

You must know that taking charge of a company and being a member of a company's upper management are two completely different feelings.

If possible, taking charge of a medium-sized company is actually much more attractive in the hearts of many than being a group executive at a large company.

"Alright, having said so much, everyone go down and get busy. Still the same words: no matter when, do not do things that will make you regret, as that is not good for anyone."

After finishing, Jiao Zhen stood up and left.

In the afternoon, Zhang Ran arrived at the place Jiao Zhen had arranged; this was a vacation manor, and the renovation and service were both very good.

Jiao Zhen had originally also thought about how to arrange for Zhang Ran and his group.

Stay at a hotel?

With so many people, and hotels also have various inconveniences.

This vacation manor is not very far from the city center, a half-hour journey; it is not far, but not near either.

Moreover, the scenery is quite nice, and combined with some leisure activities, it is a good choice.

Zhang Ran was also very satisfied with this.

"Brother Jiao, don't ask me for this money; you solve it within your own Group Company," Zhang Ran joked.

Jiao Zhen was speechless; I am already so nervous, and you are still in the mood to joke.

"Our Group Company still has this little bit of money," Jiao Zhen said helplessly.

Zhang Ran laughed out loud and said, "Just a joke. By the way, have you brought the materials for the Group's subsidiaries?"

"Brought them, please take a look." Jiao Zhen handed over a large stack of materials.

Zhang Ran signaled for He Qing to take these things down first and let others extract some important information from them first.

If he had to look at them himself, where would Zhang Ran find so much time and energy?

This is different from Huamei; regarding Huamei Group, Zhang Ran had already understood it clearly in advance. Although Zhang Ran had also looked into Maikai Supermarket, he had not investigated it as clearly as he had with Huamei Group.

"Brother, what are your thoughts regarding these Group subsidiaries?" Zhang Ran asked.

Jiao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I do indeed have some thoughts, but previously the Group Company's liquid capital was not very abundant, so I couldn't execute them."

Speaking of this, Jiao Zhen also helplessly glanced at Zhang Ran. Logically speaking, a retail group like Maikai Supermarket should not lack cash flow.

But in the past, those funds were all withdrawn by Zhang Ran; every time Zhang Ran had any major moves, he would withdraw funds from Maikai Supermarket.

This made Jiao Zhen very helpless; every time he wanted to develop the business of the subsidiaries, he felt powerless.

Regarding such a situation, he had no way at all.

Zhang Ran really had major matters, matters much larger than what he wanted to do, and every time it was done with extreme high-profile.

He could not make things difficult for Zhang Ran for the sake of his own affairs.

So every time, it could only be shelved.

Zhang Ran felt a bit embarrassed being looked at by Jiao Zhen. Indeed, Maikai Supermarket was always one of his important sources of funds; who told them to have so much cash flow?

"Ahem, well, from now on it will be much better. You continue," Zhang Ran coughed and said.

"I am prepared to send some company executives down to lead the development of some subsidiaries. To be honest, some subsidiaries now lack a bit of initiative," Jiao Zhen said slowly.

"Mr. Zhang, you also know that the reason we acquired some subsidiaries was actually to expand the Group's business, and basically, they are all related to our own business.

It is rarely because of other aspects that we acquired them, so these subsidiaries rely on our Group Headquarters for development.

They have no pressure from customer orders; even if they are poor, they still have the Group Headquarters supporting them from above, which leads to their lack of initiative.

Now I am prepared to replace a batch of people and let these people go down to clean up these subsidiaries once more."

As he spoke, Jiao Zhen looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Of course, all of this still needs to be based on the Headquarters' decisions.

Which companies need to be re-planned and which companies need to be discarded, these still need to be discussed.

Also, the persons in charge of the subsidiaries will need to go to the Headquarters for training."

Jiao Zhen said everything he could think of, and Zhang Ran also nodded in satisfaction.

Since Jiao Zhen was so cooperative, he did not mind giving some benefits.

"Fine, since Brother Jiao has said so, I will also state my position here: the Headquarters will conduct some assessments of the Maikai Supermarket Group's subsidiaries. If there is development potential, as long as it is a candidate recommended by you, Brother Jiao, then as long as they pass some reviews, there will be no problem at all," Zhang Ran gave his promise.

Jiao Zhen smiled: "Then many thanks, Mr. Zhang."

He was also seeking benefits for his subordinates; this was also his duty as the boss.

After saying this, Zhang Ran said: "Aren't you going to see your son?"

"Forget it, no need. I've heard about this kid before; he performed okay and didn't lose face for me," Jiao Zhen said, unable to hide his smile.

The matter at Huamei Group before had long since spread among these people, and they were all very clear about everyone's performance.

"Mm, I won't go to Maikai Supermarket tomorrow; let them go and inspect it first," Zhang Ran said.

"Okay." Jiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, almost failing to react; Zhang Ran changed the topic too quickly.
